About Me

My photo
Hi! I'm Kaytee Mueller. I am 31 years young. I have 3 children, Hudson (5), Nora (3) and Clare (a few months old)...(yes I have my hands full... haha). My husband's name is Kyle and we've been together for something like 13 years.... and I am a teacher. I teach 1st grade this year and I absolutely love everything about it. The only thing is, I get bored very easily & let's just say it's rare that I do the same thing more than once. With that being said, I am constantly researching, googling, pinning, & searching blogs to find new and improved ways to better meet the needs of my very diverse learners. Oh-- and did I mention that I'm the bulletin board queen? Yes. Absolutely love decorating my class and making a room with 4 cement walls feel like a cozy, homey, comfortable, safe & magical place to learn--not easy but well worth it.

Parent Teacher Conference Check List

With Parent-Teacher Conferences right around the corner, I thought I'd share a checklist I made that has been extremely helpful when conducting a meeting with a parent. I included strengths, concerns, and suggestions for parents to work on with their children. This checklist has been a lifesaver for those times when I've gotten nervous while talking with a parent (who hasn't!?), it's kept me on topic, and has helped me so that I never have those "drawing a blank/blonde moments"! I think it's very important to provide the parents with some strengths their child has so that a conference doesn't come across as  totally negative. It is also important to have a course of action for what we can do, as parents and teachers to help the child get where he/she needs to be.
